Fall Favorites Stamp Set
Artiste Cartridge
To make this project I first cut the gift bag at the recommended 5" from the NEW Artiste Cartridge, found on page 79 in the booklet, and assembly instructions found on page 63. Before assembling I took the stamp and inked it with New England Ivy and stamped a random pattern all over the gift bag. After assembling I stamped the FALL tag in 2 colors, Holiday Red and New England Ivy, wiping off the color on alternate letters to achieve this affect.
The Scarecrow is stamped with Chocolate Ink, and then using a combination of makers and Ink Pads as well as the blending pen I colored in my scarecrow. When using your ink pad and Blending Pen, squeeze the ink pad while closed, it transfers color onto the inside lid, giving you color to blend with. I then cut around the scarecrow and adhered him to the tag that is cut to fit the image. I then tied a piece of ribbon through the hole to create this gift tag. I then distressed both projects by inking the edges with a combination of New England Ivy and Denim Blue Ink.
